A Kentucky fisherman was in for a big surprise when he reeled in a giant catch that looks a lot like a goldfish.

Hunter Anderson, who works at a bait and tackle shop in Danville, was out with his girlfriend Saturday when they decided to cast a line into a pond known to contain large koi and goldfish, WKYT reports.

Anderson told Fox News he used a Cashion rod but didn’t have any bait, so instead he used a piece of Lee’s Famous Recipe biscuit.

While the fish initially took the bait, Anderson, an avid fisherman, said the fish he estimates to be around 20 pounds put up a struggle.

“This fish was different. It was one of the hardest fighting fish I’ve ever fought. It never ever wanted to give up. I’m lucky I got it in. But I did and I was screaming and jumping up and down as I had never seen anything like it,” he said.

His sister shared a photo of the unbelievable catch on social media, which quickly went viral.

“What you are witnessing is NOT national geographic! It is not a stolen image or edited photo! This is my brother!! Who is holding what could possibly be…. that pet goldfish we flushed when I was 9!!! …I swear, I thought you were dead bubbles!!! lol lol. Caught in danville ky y’all!! Oh my gosh don’t flush your pets!” she wrote.
